China: Extension of the Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of 
the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 20564 (April 20, 
2010).
    \2\ As explained in the memorandum from the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration, the Department has exercised 
its discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of 
the Federal Government from February 5, through February 12, 2010. 
As a result, all deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have 
been extended by seven days, and the revised deadline for the 
preliminary results became May 10, 2010. See Memorandum to the 
Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import Administration, 
regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the 
Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm,'' dated February 12, 
2010.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the ``Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the time period to a maximum of 
365 days.
    The Department has already extended the preliminary results by 90 
days but an additional 30-day extension is necessary because the 
Department needs additional time to analyze and review Petitioners'\3\ 
newly submitted allegations as well as to request and analyze 
additional information from Zibo Aifudi Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd. in 
a supplemental questionnaire. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time period 
for completing the preliminary results of the instant administrative 
review by 30 days from August 8, 2010, until September 7, 2010. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Petitioners are the Laminated Woven Sacks Committee and its 
individual members, Coating Excellence International and Polytex 
Fibers Corporation.

    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: August 5, 2010.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
